Mulberries Cake Shop

Mulberries is delicious, and my go-​to cake shop! Yes, their cupcakes are good, but their cakes are what brings me back again and again. Most recently I purchased one for a friend’s baby shower. She didn’t tell me what kind of cake she wanted, but she doesn’t like chocolate, and isn’t really into sweets, so I was sure she wouldn’t be too impressed. Boy was I wrong! My friend and her husband LOVED the cake so much that for days after the shower she would text me every time she had another piece! The cake was beautiful and delicious, and after that experience Mulberries is my go-​to spot.

Hadn’t tried this bakery before. Ordered a 10″ round birthday cake. Spice with apple filling and buttercream frosting. Wasn’t as moist as I had hoped. Should have been more specific about the frosting — wanted lots of buttercream because it goes so well with spice cake — what I got was a thin layer, which just didn’t cut it. Beautifully decorated, however, by the time of the cake cutting some of the icing decoration started dropping off the cake.
IF I order another cake from here, I’ll definitely indicate exactly what I want now that I have an idea of their finished product.

I used to live in Denver and have never actually been to this store. I called so
I could have mini birthday cupcakes made for a friend. They were great over the phone even when I left a message. They let me pay over the phone and made adorable cupcakes when I had no idea what I really wanted! I just said a few colors and they made them adorable. Also very affordable!

Hands down — they have the best tasting buttercream frosting! My husband special ordered their pecan and buttercream cake. Not only did they include beautiful, whimsical blue birds, but the cake is still something I dream about.

I’ve never actually been to this cake shop, but they provide cakes for various birthday party venues/​locations I’ve been to with my kids, or hosted on behalf of my kids. These cakes are great. Not too sweet of a cake, and not too much frosting, either. I would love to come in and try more flavors/​varieties. YUM!

We used Mulberries Cake Shop for our wedding last summer. It’s taken me a while to get to this review, but they deserve nothing less than 5 stars! The customer service, tasting experience, and day-​of preparation was amazing. We selected Mulberries based on taste alone, but had we been looking for the best price, we still would have used Mulberries! I will absolutely go to Mulberries first in the future whenever I’m in need of a cake!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Update– I am continually impressed with the customer service at Mulberries Cake Shop. I called in a last-​minute anniversary cake order expecting to be told that my request was unreasonable, but instead the staff worked with me and I got my cake on time. Their flexibility and outstanding service will keep me coming back for more. The cake and cupcakes were delicious as expected. Butter cream frosting perfection. Bravo!

Amazing I had my daughter 1^st Birthday at Denver Aquarium. They bake the cakes for the Aquarium Restaurant. Cake was moist, delicious, and most flavorful cakes I have had in years. We live in Pueblo West and seriously haven’t had a cake that great since Delicious Cakes closed in the Mesa. I only wish I lived in Denver so I could order all of our occasion cakes there.

Sweet Discovery
Mulberries Cake Shop has been around for some 15 years now, but I only recently came by it. Initially, I thought that it was all about the wedding stuff, but Mulberries also offers cookies, cupcakes, and cakes for any occasion. Does a sweet tooth count as an occasion? I hope so, because I will be back again and again!

Our reception venue allowed my husband and I to order a couple’s cake and cupcakes through a third party vendor, which helped us save some money. Our vendor went through Mulberries Cake Shop. It was our job to set up a time for a tasting with them. Initially, we had some trouble getting a hold of them (we left several messages), but once we were able to talk to a person the communication was much better. Kathleen’s cakes blew us away! The samples she provided were amazing! We ended up choosing a pecan cream cheese for the couple’s cake, and lemon and marble for the guest cupcakes. We had no clue what kind of design we wanted, and Kathleen was able to help us brainstorm and come up with a cute design. Plus they will provide you with an anniversary cake for free, so we were able to enjoy our couple’s cake instead of letting it sit in the freezer for a year! Can’t wait to have an occasion to order another cake!

YUK. I have had better cupcakes from a box – in fact, you would be hard pressed to convince me that’s not what they use here. If this were the only bakery in town, I still wouldn’t go back. The frosting tastes like lard – literally no better than the crappy kind they use at grocery store bakeries.
I would not return to this place. There are many much better cupcakes to be had in Denver.

I needed to buy a cake for a friend’s birthday and found this place on Unilocal.I was a bit worried if I could get a cake since it was so last minute but It was awesome that they had premade cakes readily available for walk in customers. There were a lot of different flavors but I decided to get a small chocolate fudge cake. The staff was friendly and helped us write our birthday wishes on the cake. When we finally got to eat the cake later that day, it was surprisingly not too sweet and very moist. Although the icing was a bit sweet, it was overall a very delicious cake that fed 8 of us perfectly for 30 dollars.

Purchased a small cake a few days ago and it was perfect. 4 days after cutting it open, it was still moist and cakey. We’ll definitely be going back for all occasions.

My husband and I used Mulberries to create our cake for our September 27^th, 2014 wedding. I had a GREAT experience from step one with Mulberries. My wedding session (to decide which cake, flavors, etc) was fantastic and I got to taste test right on site. Kathleen called about 2 weeks before the wedding and told us when she would be delivering it. It was GORGEOUS and delicious! We got so many compliments at the wedding at how good it was and people went back for more (and we still had some leftover). They deliver to Golden, just FYI. Also my husband and I had a REALLY cute cake topper — they handled it perfectly and stored it for us a few days beforehand, which was really helpful.
Also…and I think this is really important. Kathleen told me she would deliver at 4 on Saturday and basically, she showed up on time, delivered perfectly, and set it up without me having ANY clue. This is how good service/​business is done, with a delicious result. I had no worries about my cake on my wedding day.
Also — you get as many taste tests as you want once you pay and sign your contract with them. Alex and I went for 3. It was AWESOME. We will be using Mulberries for every single baked good/​cake/​muffin/​whatever tasty needs we have from now on.

I may be a little biased because we live close to mulberries so we tend to use them all the time. However, a couple weeks ago, we found out the gender of our little baby. We had the ultrasound tech call mulberries to let them know the gender in the morning. And then mulberries made a cake with the inside being the respective color of the gender and white frosting. That night we had some friends over and cut the cake open for to reveal the gender! It was so fun! And we were so glad that mulberries could make the cake for us under such short notice!
Also, it’s good to know that their cupcakes are buy 1 get 1 free right before close. We head over on Saturdays at 3:30 for cupcakes all the time!

A cute shop on Colfax. I really wanted to like it. But, nope! I ordered two cupcakes to go on our anniversary. We enjoyed them after our dinner and they tasted like Betty Crocker. But I guess for cheap cupcakes you can you use the cake mix? And the frosting was flavorless. I was pretty disappointed but I didn’t waste too much money.

This colorful store always caught my attention when I was in the area. Finally decided to pay a visit and see what sweet treats I could find to eat for dessert.
The store is mainly a cake shop were you pre-​order your cakes rather than buy already made ones. The cakes I saw while I waited were gorgeous and cute, however I could not sample any cakes so no idea how good they really are.
I settled on a cupcake which was the only thing available for those of us looking for something to eat right away. Had a chocolate cupcake with buttercream frosting. Was happy that unlike most cupcake shops, Mulberry does not overdo the frosting. I prefer the cake portion more than the globs of frosting most of them have nowadays.
While the frosting was good, the cake was a bit dry. Not sure if I just bought an older cupcake but overall I wasn’t totally impressed. They did satisfy my cravings so hope to come back and try more cupcakes to see if they are any better. The staff was super helpful and happily answered my questions so that gives me more reason to return.

Great customer service! Good prices. Yummy cakes, but not that insanely amazing pastry that I would have to share w the world… And that’s what I was looking for.

Here we go round the mulberry bush,
The mulberry bush,
The mulberry bush.
Here we go round the mulberry bush
So early in the morning.
We gathered here last Saturday,
To try some cakes, hooray, hooray.
Not bad, I thought,
but not that hot,
I prefer a bit fancier of a cupcake.

Mulberries was the first stop on our Cupcake Tour today.
Nestled on right on Colfax next to the Same Café. The décor inside is cute and was warm and inviting. The young guy working was really nice and I opted for the lemon cupcake with some bright blue icing for $ 1.78.
We grouped outside on the patio to enjoy our cupcakes. The cupcake was okay, I wouldn’t say great or outstanding by any means. To agree with some of the Unilocal reviews I could make this cupcake at home. Another Unilocaler got the Carrot Cake cupcake and instead of a cream cheese icing it came with just a plain butter-​cream icing. If you like Carrot Cake you know the cream cheese icing is needed, the cake and icing work together to make an amazing Carrot Cake and unfortunately that was not the case here.
I may be discriminating but if your business is cupcakes I expect some pizazz, some unique flavors and creative frosting’s. Hopefully Mulberries will read some of these reviews and make a few changes for the better because I love supporting local shops and I just can’t support this one until they give me a little more!
